Just hanging out....for now

Nikki's taking her mid morning/afternoon nap and so I have some time to blog a bit. Nick is getting his Father's Day massage and we're waiting for him to get back so that we can go to lunch. Before Nick left, we met with a pool contractor to sign the paperwork for the pool remodel. I think I may have posted once before about the pool being a pain. Well, the time finally came when the pool just got the best of us. After all, it is 25 years old and when it's time, it's time. We're excited about getting it remodeled and using it. Hopefully, everything will work out just fine and we can use it without having to worry about another pipe springing a leak. It seems to always happen around summer time too. Go figure.

It took a couple of weeks to finally decide on the contractor and there was a little bit of a bidding war. I was going to go with this other guy and although I don't think I was obligated to stick with him, since we hadn't signed any contract, I changed my mind and went with this new one that gave me a better quote and more features. Soooo the first guy got all, well, not really offended, but thought we had made a verbal contract and he felt that it wasn't done right. I felt kind of sort of bad, but afterall a "buck is a buck." I hope I don't get bad karma for this.
